The UConn Neag School of Education was awarded funding from the Spencer Foundation to host a conference focused on advancing civil rights protections for students of color. The group met last week at the UConn Student Union, and the conference also included sessions held in the Neag School’s Gentry Building.
The Neag School brought together scholars, leaders, and community partners to help envision a new QuantCrit Policy Center—a space dedicated to using quantitative, computational, and community-responsive research to disrupt educational resegregation and advance racial and disability justice.
Over two days, participants built a shared vision, developed principles for community-centered quantitative research, and designed bold research projects aimed at challenging inequitable practices, particularly in special education. The Neag School’s Nicholas Bell and Zachary Collier, along with doctoral students Julia Oas, Ibrahim Osumanu, Jennifer Pena, and Joshua Sukuma, worked closely with the group throughout the convening.
The Neag School was grateful to have collaborated with leading scholars from across the country and the UConn community. Together, participants aimed to create transformative change for students of color and their families.
Neag School of Education’s Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) graduate program students participated in HESA Day last week in the UConn Student Union. First-year HESA students presented research posters based on their practice briefs that focused on various topics, and second-year HESA students presented projects showcasing their learning about dialogue across differences and its implications for personal and educational development. In addition to the students in attendance, HESA faculty, as well as HESA alumni and campus partners from across the University, joined the event.
